It’s so nice to be able to trust someone’s dignity and serenity. Especially at a time like the current one, in which people can’t even understand what the facts are about.
Perhaps it is these personal traits that made Queen Elizabeth II such a powerful symbol of stability. And, for that very reason, they brought with her death such a strong sense of loss.
Presidents of the strongest countries and British prime ministers came and went during the 70 years of his reign, the longest in the world. But it alone seemed indestructible, to the point of confusing the institution of the monarchy with the person of the monarch.
And to ask yourself, today, now that she is gone, how will the monarchy survive?
To function as it has done so far in a modern democracy such as Britain, a hereditary monarchy needs citizens to believe that only one family represents the nation, its values and is above politics, which suggests an interesting conclusion.
The appeal of the monarchy is not so much the nostalgic appeal of the past of nobles and kings as it is the modern appeal of someone who seems to be above the tribes, polarizations and bickering of the present.
